The worst part about working in a record store is that I'm not allowed to buy anything from it and I work all RSD. So wish me luck getting the Tommy Keene, Marshall Crenshaw, The Locustz, and that Soul Jazz power pop comp I've been eyeing.
Just spent an hour taking apart a couch to get the SD card that dropped into it as it has pics of last night's Creep Jingles, Hello Biplane, & KC Bear Fighters show on it. #dedication
